Uniform Code of Military Justice — Organization

Description

The Uniform Code of Military Justice governs discipline in the U.S. armed forces, specifying punishments for offenses like adultery and failure to obey orders. Staff debate its application to Lieutenant Commander Vickie Hilton's arrest for disobeying an order, which carries criminal penalties including jail time and exposes the President to related charges. Military police enforce it, while judge advocates interpret its rules amid political fallout.
